Windows

Have you checked to see if they can still see the server when the drive drops off? Might be some kind of WINS problem for name resolution - try mapping with the IP instead. If that stays around you may have to flush out their LMhosts file as they may be remembering the old server at that IP. 'nbtstat -R' will flush, but only after you have deleted any files called lmhosts in the system32 folder.

Yes, I try ping with server when the map is inaccesible and it works. And, yes I try to map with IP address instead name, and doesn't work.

And, also, after restart, the map is accesible.

That problem beside on Server machine maybe, first at all if you have mode than 10 clients you need prepare a Server machine with a server OS, and indicate how many connections you may need.

I run a W2000, and share a folders, and when we try to connect more than 9 clients, the server make some kind of things and we lost so many connections too.

Soluction for us, install a win2000 advance server and apply a 60 clients, share folders and whala... all done...

I hoe this can help you..

leirags is on the right track.

In this server what is the license setup? Per-Server or Per-
Device/user?

My guess is that you are per server. In this mode a single client
can open multiple connections using multiple CALS. Example: 10
CALS with 10 workstations could exceed the limit very fast.

In per User/Device mode you only need one CAL per USER or
Workstation even the station uses multiple connections.

it sound like like you are exceding the CAL count and your logs
may show this. A reboot closes all sessions and then on boot it
has available CALs for the map.

Check your License Control Panel.

good Luck,
